The Maharashtra Government on Monday issued notification reinstating waiver in entertainment tax and cess to Wizcraft International which had organised Michael Jackson Pop show way back in 1996. The government will give Rs 3.36 crore which was deposited in the high court due to its order. As reported by Free Press Journal, the state cabinet on January 6 had given its nod on the background of a long legal battle on the issue.
The cabinet approved the waiver after it was clarified by the law and judiciary department that the Michael Jackson concert was a pop show which is a part of beat music. It was further clarified that the âKing of Popâ concert did not fall in the category of cabaret dance or ball dance.
